Press Releases

OpenStack Summit, Barcelona Spain (Booth #C32) October 25, 2016— Nuage Networks, the Nokia venture focused on software-defined networking (SDN) solutions, and NTT Data Intellilink, a subsidiary of NTT DATA, one of the largest systems integrators in Japan, announced today a partnership providing the first end-to-end overlay network virtualization solution covering Datacenter Cloud, Datacenter Interconnect (DCI), and WAN in a single SDN platform. This next-generation overlay SDN and SD-WAN solution helps large global enterprises in Japan greatly accelerate the deployment of cloud-based services, with greater automation and efficiency, across hybrid cloud and heterogeneous datacenter environments.

“As a premier global systems solutions provider for an array of industry sectors, NTT Data Intellilink is constantly looking for new ways to keep customers on the leading edge of IT technologies that align with their business needs,” commented Kou Miyake, President and CEO of NTT Data Intellilink. “Our partnership with Nuage Networks provides additional value to large enterprise customers looking for a clear path to implement SDN, cloud-based automation and the most advanced hybrid cloud platforms.”

NTT Data Intellilink selected the Nuage Networks SDN solution following rigorous trials to determine the optimal solution to transform its legacy network infrastructure. Following successful deployment in its own environment, NTT Data Intellilink made the decision to serve as system integration partner to deliver the Nuage Networks overlay SDN solution to other enterprises as they evolve to cloud architectures.

“We are pleased and honored that NTT Data Intellilink selected Nuage Networks after extensive testing of many SDN solutions and concluded that we provided the best addition to its cloud services,” said Nuage Networks Founder and Chief Executive Officer Sunil Khandekar. “We deliver the only overlay SDN solution offering a single platform to provide policy-based automation in the Datacenter and WAN together. When combined with the integration expertise of NTT Data Intellilink, large enterprise customers in Japan now have an extremely valuable resource to help ramp sophisticated cloud platforms.”

Both companies are fully committed to assisting customers in moving their legacy network infrastructures to the cloud. The Nuage Networks /NTT Data Intellilink solution is currently available, and the companies are conducting comprehensive seminars and training sessions on the new SDN solution to help enterprises make this transition.
